Book Description:
Billy Jakobek has always been
different. Born with strange and powerful psychic abilities, he has grown up in
the laboratories of Thorne Century, a ruthless megacorporation that
economically, socially, and politically dominates American society.
Every day, Billy absorbs the
emotional energies, dreams, and traumas of everyone he meets—from his
grandmother’s memories of the Holocaust, to the terror his sheer existence
inflicts upon his captors—and he yearns to break free, so he can use his powers
to help others.
Natalia Gonzalez, a rebellious
artist and daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, lives in Heaven’s Hole, an
industrial town built inside a meteor crater, where the poverty-stricken
population struggles to survive the nightmarish working conditions of the local
Thorne Century factory. Natalia takes care of her ailing mother, her
grandmother, and her two younger brothers, and while she dreams of escape, she
knows she cannot leave her family behind.
When Billy is transferred to
Heaven’s Hole, his chance encounter with Natalia sends shockwaves rippling
across the blighted landscape. The two outsiders are pitted against the
all-powerful monopoly, while Billy experiences visions of an otherworldly
figure known as the Shape, which prophesizes an apocalyptic future that could
decimate the world they know.
